Tear's Big Project, Day 1

Characters: Tear Grants and YOU
Setting: The meadow on Floor 25
Format: Starting action, reply as you wish.
Summary: This is the first of the two days for Tear's offer of training in magic. There will be closed parts for certain people and a few open sections.
Warnings: Magic, fighting, Luke and Asch in the same area with pointy things, possible explosions?

[Tear made her way to the meadow thirty minutes early, a book in her hand as she made that way. She looked around at the empty space and grimaced. Why she'd thought this was a good idea, she'd never know, but she was determined to see if she could get the residents of this Tower of Horror to arm themselves in light of the recent problems with the administration.]

Closed for Luke fon Fabre (OU)
[If the redhead looked carefully enough, he'd see the brunette looking off into the distance at the flowers as she waited for the others to gather.]

Closed for Asch the Bloody, Sheba and Xion
[She'd decided to work on the redheads away from one another, but any friends they brought were fine. She'd expected to see the blond after their exchange on the network.

Closed for V/V, AU Link and Zelda
[She couldn't wait to introduce her two new friends to one another. Link had training with bows and swords. Between those, Tear was sure that V/V would find something she could use.]

Open Section for Magic Training
[This was perhaps the most anxious part of the entire ordeal—trying to figure out how the magics of so many worlds worked and to see if those interested could actually learn to use the Seventh Fonon, or if she was going to be spending her night telling them all how to do battle first aid.

Only time would tell, right?]

Open Section for Fighting Training
[As opposed to the magic training, this, this she had no issue with. She was a proficient with her staffs, maces and knives. Besides, she'd learned as a child that anything could be used as a weapon in times of need. And with the many sword wielders as she'd met since coming to the tower, she knew that this would be fine!]

[V/V arrived twenty minutes early as she'd promised. Spotting Tear in the meadow, she dashed towards her.]

Did I show up on time?

[Luke figured that Tear would still be around when he got up to the Meadow floor, though he hadn't counted on actually being early. He let out a surprised noise, before jogging over to her.]

Hey, Tear!

[Tear turned to face the new arrival with a slight smile on her face. The winged girl was exactly twenty minutes late like she said she would be.]

You are right on time, V/V. I trust that you've been doing well?

[Finding Sheba here was expected - finding Xion was a bit of a surprise, but not really an unwelcome one. She'd been interested in training, after all. Once Tear was available, he leads the way over to her, arms kind of absently folded over his chest. Default posture: grumpy.

He doesn't really expect the two girls accompanying him to be able to learn - even if Xion is a replica, it's by no means a certain thing, as evidenced by Sync's relative inability with the fonon. Still, it's not as though the theory would be beyond them, and he'd already had a few good discussions with Sheba about artes and Psyenergy, and Xion seemed eager to learn in general.]

Let's get started, then.

[Bonus, he even has some healing bruises to practice on.]

[She turned to face the familiar voice, her cheeks already a little flushed as she remembered the way their talk on the network had ended so abruptly.]

Hello, Luke.

[Luke stopped just before her, flashing her a smile as something wiggled under his shirt, and Amnon's head popped up.]

Mieu~~

[Luke let out a sigh, pulling him out and setting him on his shoulder.]

Amnon says hi too.

[And a bit away from where Tear is doing her round of training, there's a certain redhead with his sword drawn and his eyes on the girl in front of him. They had arranged to have a training session, after all, and there's no time like the present.]

Alright. Summon that weapon and show me what you can do.

[He'll just guard for now, and maybe keep an eye out for any observers. You know, like certain green-haired replicas that he also promised to train.]

[Tear covered her mouth with the hand not holding the heavy book as the cheagle appeared.]

Hello to you too, Amnon.

Is-is Yu-sensei coming as well? [If Luke respected this man enough to call him by his title, then Tear could do the same.]

[A small smile worked its way onto his face at her calling him sensei too. He reached back to rub at the back of his neck.]

I dunno. He probably saw your announcement, so he might stop by.

I don't know if he did, but he's more than welcome to come. I would like to meet him, if nothing else. [She looks down and sees the book.]

Oh, I think I mentioned that I had something to give you, yes? I found this, [She shoves it at him] in my trunk when I was looking for something...appropriate to wear. It might help you with your hyperresonance. I-I gave it to you once before.

[She sighed as she looked at the redhead. Asch was as he always was, new bruises or not. Although, she'd only seen one of the girls with him from the network and the other one not at all.]

Hello. I'm Tear. And you two are? [Politeness got one far, Teodoro had once told her.]

[Luke let out a curious noise, turning the book over in his hands as Amnon crawled down his arm a little to sniff at it.]

Principles of Fonology?

This should help you with your hyperresonance, if you haven't learned to control it yet. I gave this to you after...Akzeriuth.

O-oh...

[He sobered quickly at that, looking down at the book in his hands.]

I-I've tried a couple times. I managed to control it enough once, but I haven't been able to duplicate it.

[Not that he would ever hope someone would be in that much trouble that he would need to. Tear, please don't ever end up caught in a barrier like Yu did.]

And, well, Asch tried... but he's Asch.

[She noticed the way his expression changed. Not that she blamed him.]

You know that learning to control it isn't going to just be a one-time thing. The first time I taught you, it took many sessions of us working together before you could control it completely. I'm not looking for perfection from you, Luke. And Asch is a jerk at the best of times.

Like I said, I wouldn't mind trying to teach you how to heal. It would be nice to have another Seventh Fonist with the ability to heal, but that's not really my goal with you right now.

[Xion nods slightly in determination, her Keyblade appearing in a flash of light. She studies Asch carefully, considering how to start. She'd talked to him about training one-handed, so obviously she'd start there, but she was still so new to it, and even if she'd never really seen him fight much, she got the feeling that Asch was very, very experienced.

Eventually though, she runs forward, swinging her keyblade one-handed like Aqua had shown her back in February - or at least as well as she can remember. As she moves through her capabilities, it's clear that one-handed fighting is very, very new to her. Once she falls back on two-handed wielding though (which she can, now that both her hands work again), her skills start showing a lot more ease of practice, though they're still a little rough and unpolished. She's had some formal training, though a lot of it was self-taught.

She'll give it her all, though.]

Yeah, I know... you're always learning something new, right?

[He nodded to himself, trying to put thoughts of Asch and Akzeriuth out of his mind as he tucked the book under his arm.]

Controlling my abilities is the most important, right? I don't want to accidentally blow anything up.

Learning something new all the time is a good thing, yes. [She'd never heard that expression before, so it was curious to hear Luke say it. Perhaps it was one of those things he'd learned from 'Yu-sensei' since his arrival.]

First of all, let's talk about what your power entails. We can get to the control part in a moment. Do you remember that I once tried to explain to you how the seventh fonon was different from the other six?

[After her time with the groups, Tear decided she would practice her aim with her knives. It had been a while since she'd done so. It was always one thing or the other. Trying to stop Van, training Luke, helping her grandfather rebuild the Order of Lorelei with the Fon Master, stopping Van again.

Her life was just a big mess and she knew it. So, this gave her the ability to clear her mind and just do as her body remembered.

She had ten knives on her person, and her target was one particular blue flower in a sea of red.]

Er... yeah, a little. The seventh fonon was a... mutation of the other six and the memory things, right?

[He wasn't entirely sure that was it; that boat trip had been forever ago.]

The planet's memory particles, yes, but they also have to do with sound. When Natalia and I called on the Seventh Fonon to heal, we're basically calling on the planet's memory of what our target's body looks like whole to repair the damage. Does that make sense?

But the main component of being a Seventh Fonist has to do with sound. That's why Scorers and Melodists are in such demand by the Order. Scorers to actually read the Score and Melodists to sing Yulia's Hymns and Fonic Hymns, although I think Van and I are the only two who can be counted as Melodists anymore, since it's such a rare talent.

[He's certainly curious when he reads about the training being offered on the network. He knows the gun that's a comforting weight against his back now would be a useless paperweight if he ran out of ammo for it. Between it and his powers, though, he's never had a reason to learn anything else, which is what has him curious enough to turn up.

For once, he's not bothering to project any set image with his empathy, letting his size and appearance do the work for him.]

You're good with those.

[Luke nodded slowly, trying to absorb all that.]

So... the planet remembers what we're supposed to be like, and the Seventh Fonon responds best to sound? That makes sense... but why does it still work in a place like this?
